Escaping
Your TimeTraps (Webinar for Students)
A Student’s Guide to Getting Organized
“One of life's most painful moments comes when we must admit that we didn't do our homework, that we are not prepared”
-
Merlin Olsen, Football Player, Sports Commentator, Actor
Sports, musical instruments, gymnastics, dance class, after school activities, carpooling, errands…where do HOMEWORK and SCHOOL PROJECTS fit into your family’s busy schedule? Does your child have enough time or energy? Is it possible for your child to figure out how to plan his or her schedule and take responsibility for getting school work done, without waiting until the last minute?
Developing good organizational skills to approach school work now will positively impact your child for the rest of their life. Developing these good habits and techniques at a young age (grades 4-7) reduces stress that can result from procrastinating, rushing to get done with homework, and leaving school projects until the night before they are due.
Escaping Your TimeTraps for Students introduces best practices that encourage children to take ownership of their school work schedule.
